Maybe I'm Jealous (NEO)

Part 12- Awkward

Taekwoon led Hakyeon to his house, awkwardly looking behind him to check if Hakyeon was still following
Everytime he did, Hakyeon made sure to glance up, meeting Taekwoon's eyes. All it did was make Taekwoon quickly look away and keep walking, maybe even pick up his pace.

Aww is he shy? Hakyeon thought.
Hakyeon giggled to himself, thinking of Taekwoon's actions.
Taekwoon finally stopped at a particular house, looking up at it then over at Hakyeon
"Here" He spoke softly, pointing at the large white door
Hakyeon looked at the house, his eyes widening seeing Taekwoon's not-so-small house.
"Y-You live here...??"
Taekwoon replied with a simple nod, as if he's heard that statement over a hundred times
He pulled out a key from his pocket, walking up the front steps and opening the door allowing Hakyeon in.
The inner child within Hakyeon pushed him to look at every corner, every piece of furniture... It was too fascinating to him

"Here...? You live here..?"
"Yes Hakyeon.." Taekwoon sighed, closing the door and taking off his shoes, his eyes look down at Hakyeon's shoes
"I live here.. alone." He said quietly, hanging his bag on the hanger near the door, walking more into his big house
Hakyeon nodded slowly and smiled, "Why alone Taekwoon-ah?"
Taekwoon shrugged weakly, he didn't really care to talk about family nor did he want to at all.
"Just cause"
And before Hakyeon could pester him more, Taekwoon raised a hand and muttered,
"No more questions, Hakyeon."
Hakyeon nodded again, much more serious, "Yes Taekwoon."

He continued his daydreaming, looking around the huge kitchen, it was so clean, so white and oh so fancy.
"Whoa..."
Taekwoon followed Hakyeon behind, curiously studying his fascination with his own house... it was oddly cute.
"You must never get bored with all this stuff to do... huh" Hakyeon giggled looking up at the tall ceilings
Taekwoon snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Hakyeon, he cracked a smile
"Y..Yeah.. uh.. do you wanna.. go up to my room?"
Taekwoon hadn't had many guests over, and he already felt like he had butterflies roaming around in his stomach whenever he was near Hakyeon...
The awkward tension in the air was so obvious, he tried playing it cool
"I-If not um...", Taekwoon straightened his shirt collar, "We can.. go out.. or.."
"Your room sounds perfect Taekwoon.." Hakyeon laughed softly at how peculiar Taekwoon was acting, like a shy kitten or lost puppy.

Taekwoon nodded and hesitated but took Hakyeon's hand anyway to lead him up to his room, following the stairs and straight to his bedroom.
"Here.." Taekwoon opened the door for him, bowing politely at his guest
Hakyeon played along, bowing back a little more lady like and holding onto the invisible skirt as he bowed,
"Why thank you kind sir"
He went into Taekwoon's room, immediately running over to plop down onto Taekwoon's large bed as if it was his own house.
Taekwoon rolled his eyes but laughed nevertheless and the older one's childish behavior.
He walked over to Hakyeon slowly, looking at his body spread out on his bed
Taekwoon sat down on the bed next to Hakyeon's head, "Yah... This isn't your own room, you know.."
Hakyeon simply whined, only crawling more onto the bed that wasn't his, "I know~ I'm trying to fit in more with the Jung life style"
Taekwoon raised an eyebrow, "Well you're not doing a good job at it so far.. Mr. Cha."
Hakyeon playfully stuck out his tongue before grinning brightly.
Taekwoon rolled his eyes again before laying back with Hakyeon right beside him
After a while, Hakyeon shifted a bit,
"This is... nice..." He finally spoke up, looking over at Taekwoon noticing his eyes are closed
"T...Taekwoon..?"
Soft breaths were leaving Taekwoon's parted lips gently, he was barely making noise and had seemed to have fallen asleep while they were laying next to each other quietly
An impulse hit Hakyeon, one that he felt earlier and now it had come back... and there was no greater opportunity than right now
If Taekwoon was asleep, he wouldn't know..
Hakyeon felt himself leaning in, slowly bringing his own lips closer to Taekwoon's soft ones
He fluttered his eyes closed, feeling their lips connect for a brief moment before Hakyeon pulled away, scared Taekwoon would catch him
After all they hadn't known each other for very long and the thought of kissing a complete stranger did seem horrendous but he just had to.
Hakyeon leaned in again cautiously watching for any movement before,
"Hakyeon..."
Hakyeon froze, he wanted to pull away and act natural but it was too late, Taekwoon opened his eyes and looked over at the older boy
He only knew what Taekwoon would say or do, throw him out or better yet have him killed for his bold action...
Taekwoon smiled instead and cupped one of Hakyeon's cheeks and leaned in himself,
"Did you just... kiss me?"
Hakyeon gulped and stayed still, not sure if Taekwoon knew or not
"Because if so..." Taekwoon's words rolled off of his tongue like a kitten's purr

"Kiss me again Hakyeon."
